Hope is a Powerful Thing: Craft Historian Andrew Glasgow

In the 71st episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Asheville, NC. In January of 2023, Sarah was making the drive from Florida to Pennsylvania and planned her trip around the opportunity to interview craft historian Andrew Glasgow. The two were introduced the previous summer while at the Penland School of Craft, and Sarah, having known of Andrew’s vast career within the craft community, was thrilled when he agreed to an interview.

The two craft appreciators sat down in Andrew’s mid-century modern home to discuss how the Alabama native went from thinking he’d be a dentist to being an executive director of a non-profit in New York City. A year into his position as the executive director of the American Craft Council, Andrew was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and he shares with Sarah how his mindset, hope, and being his own advocate helped him through the estimated 806+ drug infusions and being declared cancer-free in 2013.
